DESTRUCTION OF BUSINESS BRINGS PROBLEM. A problem which is now disturbing the British Government may sooner or later be confronting our own government. That is what
to do about the business man who is producing or selling non-essentials and who is forced out of business because defense requirements deprive him of raw materials through priorities orders. This shortage of production will also be felt all down the line in the non-essentials industries. There will be fewer refrigerators, sewing
machines, washing machines, etc. on the market. The problem of dealing with business
men forced out of business has brought up the matter of compensation. It is rumored
some lines of production may be curtailed from 20 to 50%. The problem is merely in
the discussion phase at present, but there seems to be an inclination toward some
form of compensation.
